We conducted a national survey of all liver and intestinal adult and pediatric transplant programs active in 2018 in UNOS to assess practice patterns of in-person outreach clinics and telemedicine from January to March 2019. We assessed the use of outreach clinics as well as live video and asynchronous telemedicine (e.g. electronic consultation by review of medical records or imaging studies), including the frequency of telemedicine, duration of use, phase of transplant care in which it was used, providing care across state lines, and reimbursement. Given high clinical demands during the COVID-19 pandemic, our follow-up survey asked targeted questions limited to: 1) use of synchronous telemedicine modality (live video, telephone, both), 2) type of provider using telemedicine, 3) phase of transplant care for which telemedicine was used.	./cache/cord-306293-miyc5kok.txt	./txt/cord-306293-miyc5kok.txt
